About Us
Our Company
BioMimetic Systems Inc. (BMS) is a rapidly growing start up
focused on innovative technology for acoustic processing based on
neuroscience. Our core technology is a cutting edge mix of silicon
based neural circuits and advanced signal processing techniques
developed over two decades of medical research for cochlear implants.
‘Biomimetic’ technology reproduces the hearing
capabilities of animals such as bats, dolphins, and humans to localize
and identify sounds in difficult acoustic environments. The technology
has application to medical devices such as implants for the deaf as
well as to robotics, commercial, and military systems.
The company was incorporated in 2004; BMS chose not to take venture
capital, but to go the "bootstrapping" route using
personal investment and sales of engineering services and prototypes to
fund development. Our revenue for the 2006 and 2007 fiscal years was
approximately $1 million dollars per year, our projected revenue for
2008 will be considerably more. We are currently pursuing licensing
opportunities and partnerships with industry for a mobile robotics
product as well as an integrated optics package for a multi-sensor
platform.
Our People
The BMS staff
are a group of scientists and engineers with backgrounds in
neuroscience, biomedical, electrical, and computer engineering; each
